comes up everyday on my spyware plus 2 or 3 other ones that are usually the same.

Why?

Is there a website or something that i visit that regulary sends me these.

In the morning i can run it....The same 3! Run it in the evening...Same 3!
They are blocked but then are up again almost straight away.

So what is happening

Thanks
 
Could be MSN, I have had loads of crap added to my PC since my son started using MSN, extra favourites, IE error messages etc.

some of the spyware are legit(?) tracking devices (in banner ads for instance) used by advertising companies and such like to find out what sort of sites you go to and therefore enabling them to "offer you details of goods and services tailored more specifically to your needs" :rolleyes:

These things are on millions of sites across the web, you'll never get rid of them....
